Blue Butterfly Congrates

I made this CAS butterfly card to play along the 200th CAS Colours and Sketches challenge. This week is a color challenge inspired by the colors in their blog header with the beautiful monochromatic shades of blue.

Here are the close-ups. I stamped the sentiment with Tsukineko Brilliance pigment ink and then heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder for added shimmer. I know it's hard to see from the photo, but the shimmer is there. For the butterflies, I used double-sided tapes on the back of the blue cards before I die-cut the butterflies so the small pieces could stay within the butterflies. I also added white pearls to match the butterflies from their blog header.

The double-sided tape is a clever tip for keeping the parts of the diecuts together! Your butterfly is super - and what a great attention to detail by adding in the pearls, like on our blog header! :) The subtle stripes in the circle are another nice detail to give it a little extra interest. Thanks for participating in our birthday challenge at CC&S. I hope you'll join us again soon for another challenge!
